💡 - Optional sorted / sequential test files

Description

Some test files need other test files to be run first, so making the sort optional would be interesting.

Package version

"devDependencies": {
  "japa": "^3.1.1",
}

Relevant Information

I was thinking about a Pull Request for this feature, adjusting the “configure” function and the “Loader/loadFiles”, so making filesPaths.sort() optional and default true.

Not a big fan of this approach. However, I will add an API to apply a custom sort to the files in the next version

Exactly, taking into account that the ordering is by file name, it does not allow different people to order the test files sequence in the way they prefer. Making the ordering optional and setting it to false, will make it follow the order passed in the files array.

Example:

import { configure } from 'japa'

configure({
  sort: false,

  // Expected Behavior
  files: ['file 2 that run first', 'file 1 that run second'],
  
  // Current Behavior
  files: ['file 2 that run second', 'file 1 that run first'],
})
